Using NCapture to gather material from the web

The NCapture web browser extension enables you to gather material from the web to import into NVivo. 

You can capture web pages including articles, blogs, and social media content from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter or YouTube—in order to import them into NVivo.

When you capture a web page, you can

  • Enter a short description, or record your thoughts and ideas in a memo

  • Enter one or more nodes. The entire source will be coded to these nodes when the NCapture file is imported into NVivo.

Each time you capture a web page or capture data from a social media website, an NCapture file (*.nvcx) is created.

For information on using (or installing) NCapture, refer to the NCapture Help.

After you have captured material from the web, you can import it into your project—refer to the following topics:

Importing bibliographical references and associated files

If you conduct a literature review using a reference management tool such as EndNote or Zotero, you can import the bibliographical references into NVivo.

For EndNote, Refworks or Mendeley references that include links to journal articles, figures or other files, you can import these files too. The files must be accessible and in a supported format.

For more information, refer to Exchange data between NVivo and reference management tools.
